The Hazelton Hotel Toronto
Toronto, Canada
Yorkville
Vibe
Low-lit intimacy and gilded accents channel vintage Hollywood glamour across a discreet, club-like lobby welcoming seasoned travelers.
“Glamorous Yorkville hideaway”
Dedicated Clefs d'Or concierges, custom pillow menus, and deep soaking tubs in generous soundproofed suites.
Moody interiors by Yabu Pushelberg feature dark zebrawood, polished metals, ambient lighting, and private walkout French balconies.
The heated corner patio and bar at ONE draw steady crowds for street-side Yorkville people-watching.
In Yorkville along the avenue, steps from luxury boutiques, galleries, and sidewalk dining.
“Possibly the most luxe of Toronto’s collection of luxury boutiques, the Hazelton is a sign of the times: both high-design, with interiors by the ubiquitous Canadian firm Yabu Pushelberg...”
Rooms
Soundproofed layouts feature nine-foot ceilings, French doors opening to balconies, and heated granite bathrooms with flush mirror-mounted screens.
“the hotel’s lobby — with its stylish Gatsby-like gilded gold framing and ambient lighting — welcomes visitors looking for an elegant experience”
Wellness
An indoor heated saltwater lap pool with mosaic tiling anchors the spa alongside eucalyptus steam rooms and signature Valmont facials.
“Inside, a contemporary lobby is bedecked in polished metals, ostrich leather, and amber lighting.”
Backstory
Debuting in 2007 as an independent boutique, the building was among the first in the city to install a green roof.
Eat & drink
At ONE Restaurant, French and Italian flavors meet local ingredients across an elegant dining room and a heated wraparound patio.
The neighborhood
Set directly on Yorkville Avenue, the property sits steps from designer boutiques, contemporary art galleries, and the Royal Ontario Museum.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
